Have you ever wanted to write your own book? What's holding you back? In this modern digital age the excuses to not writing your novel, poetry or how-to book are becoming less valid every day. Anyone – and I do mean anyone – can write, publish and sell their own book today. This includes you, dear reader. And when you check out the resources at the end of this short post, you'll see that people everywhere are writing, publishing and selling their stories, poems, manuals, and novels to people all over the world and you can too!Amazon.com has been the premier leader of the digital reading and publishing revolution. This revolution has allowed writers to bypass the restrictive labyrinth of old school publishing and to get their writings out to the public at will. And if you're a good writer, Amazon.com will help you succeed because their success is built on your success. You just can't use the “I'll never get published” excuse anymore.Why Write Your Own Book? Here's Why...1. You Have A Story To Tell. You know you've led an interesting life. Guess what? People like to read stories of interesting people, places and events! Only you know what you've been through – or what the characters in your head have gone through. Share it! It's amazing how many channels of nothing to watch there are on television. Reading is so much more interesting than most of what's on TV.2. Hire Out The Publishing Details. Don't know how to get your story formatted and set up publishing? Hire it out! Consider writing your story on Word or OpenOffice or even Google Docs. Then get your English major friend to proofread it, your graphic designer buddy to make you a cover, then upload it to CreateSpace and/or Kindle.

Don't have any friends with skills? Hire it out! There are places like Fiverr.com where you can find people to help you with every part of the process at very affordable prices. Depending on your budget, you can hire out every aspect of your book except the writing if you want. More excuses just evaporated, didn't they?

3. Market And Sell Your Book. Hopefully you've shared your book ideas with a trusted friend or two. If you talk with them early about your story, listen for their level of interest in the story. They might offer some insight as to how you might tweak the story to make it better. Every writer needs constructive feedback. Take their ideas into consideration without losing YOUR story and YOUR voice. Then when you're done, tell them all where they can find your book on Amazon.com.

Writing your own book is easier today than ever. The excuses of the past remain in the past, my friend. If you like to write, then write with the confidence that your novel, technical manual, biography, stack of short stories, guide, or book of poems can get into the hands of hungry readers in as little as a matter of hours after you pen the words The End. No more excuses. Do the write thing today!
